At this stage I want to be able to display the data on an excel sheet; TWA,TWD,BSP,COG that sort of thing.
Is it possible?
Could you point me in the right direction for research?
I've tried a couple of time but was not succesful
I suppose it could be done. Excel 2013 has two new functions called webservice and filterxml which you could probably use to pull boat.xml into Excel and display what you want.

Maybe the attached beginning of an excel macro will help you....

1. use timestamp=2147483647, it will get rid of the chat messages in the response, which can contain characters that not all xml parsers can handle.

2. There's a performance loss thread somewhere in the forum where I've posted (I think) a PHP script that logs some data in a csv.

3. This might not help Roddo. using boat.xml might work for sol, but won't help him when he's sailing IRL.
Roddo: what do you need this for..? and what exactly do you need? It's easy to assume you want a log of boat parameters every x seconds in a spreadsheet, so that you can apply some analysis afterwards. But maybe you want your spreadsheet log to grow automatically as racing continues. Or perhaps you don't want a log at all, but just the most recent values, updating live within the spreadsheet.

Have a look at one of Kipper's most recent posts on http://solfans.org/. He has a java application that (I believe) logs boat parameters (it does a lot more than that too).

I have no licence of expedition or excel, so I can't really hand you a solution, but at least I can try to make the problem clear :)

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
